Rome Braves

I caught the Rome Braves-Kannapoliss Intimidators Class A game last night. Chipper Jones, on rehab assignment, went 0-3 and didn't appear to run very well. The Intimidators have a good looking left field prospect, Brady Shoemaker. He's hitting .321 with 65 RBI and a about a dozen homers. He's a slasher with good power and can run. Best of all, he's a patient hitter and drwas enough walks to have a .400 OBP. That's not a number you see often these days. None of the Braves impressed me that much. They've already advanced a couple of prospects and the players down there now don't jump out at you.
